What does it actually mean to be classroom optional—and how do you get there for good?

In this episode Jazmyne unpacks the two real reasons educators go back to the classroom after landing a corporate role: because they want to, or because they feel they have no other choice. While both are valid, Jazmyne reveals why the true goal is freedom—and that comes from being classroom optional.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to:

• Reframe the classroom as a choice rather than a fallback plan
• Build the skills that give you long-term security in corporate spaces
• Leverage your teaching experience as a superpower in interviews and roles
• Create career options beyond education so you’ll never feel trapped again

✨ This isn’t just about leaving teaching it’s about stepping into a life where you’ll always have options, and teaching is one of them, not your only one.
